“This is just a small token added to the works of our fore-fathers who started this” Mr Jacob Oulanyah said.
“Everytime I travel I see awesome churches without followers anymore and now I’m happy to do this for a church that’s still standing firm.” He added.
This checque was donated by the deputy speaker himself on Wednesday 7th November 2018 to a group of representatives from the All saints cathedral to parliament adding he’s really humbled to make such a contribution to the work of God and “this surely won’t be my last contribution I will keep supporting the church to the best of my ability”
Leader of the All saints cathedral delegation that went to parliament, Reverend Hilary Jaffu, told parliament that the project which is currently at the roofing stage will take a three-year course to be completed and the cathedral is expected to be able to house 5,000 people.
“We’re really thankful for the speakers contribution and we pray that God blesses you abundantly.” Rev. Jaffu said.
Plans for the current expansion of the cathedral which is located on Nakasero hill were set in motion in 2004 during the leadership of then archbishop Livingstone Nkoyoyo when he managed to acquire plots for the church.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
